Painting (A) , Page 74

This piece of art shows us a street scene by 20th Century Haitian Folk artist Laetitia. We can see many people are passing the street, like mothers who are holding their children. They want to go to their school. There is a woman in the second floor who is holding her baby between her arms. I think this kind of scene focuses on the woman and it shows us the great passion and emotion between mothers and their children. Mothers always worry about their kids from everything like what we see in this painting; they are holding their children to avoid car accidents and to be sure that they are arriving at their schools safely.

There are buildings with narrow street. There are two cars that are crossing the street. One of them is broken and the driver is a woman, but there is someone who is helping her. The other car contains a happy family. Through looking at the father's smiling, we can say that they are happy.

Actually, when I look at this kind of art, I remember the simple life which old people used to tell me about. They lived in a simple and pure town with many lovely people.
